Create a random letter grid and make as many words with your class as you can before the timer runs out!
Use this widget during literacy rotations or as a warm-up for spelling lessons.
The Toggle widget generates a random grid of letters that students use to make as many words as they can. The grid can be adjusted to be 3 × 3, 4 × 4 or 5 × 5 to suit the ability level of your class. There are many ways to play. See below for some suggestions.
Word Snakes
Create words by linking the adjoining letter squares, either adjacent or diagonal, to form a chain of letters. Each letter can only be used once per word.
Random Letters
Use any letter square on the board to create words. Each letter square can only be used once per word.
